It is the goal of the Department of 住房和居住生活 to partner with residents and other campus officials to provide a safe and secure environment for residents 活到老学到老. T在这里 are many measures/strategies in place that offer residents ways to be and stay safe while on campus; however, it is the responsibility of each resident to do their part by practicing safety measures and reporting any suspicious 活动.
教育 & 预防
The most effective strategies for a safe campus are education and prevention. 犯罪 prevention programs are conducted in all residence 大厅 each semester; and tables, booths, flyers, bulletin boards, and the Residence Life Channel are utilized throughout the year to remind residents of the importance of being alert, cautious, and to report 任何可疑的行为. Residents are informed of policies and procedures and are held accountable through the judicial system for any action that breeches the health, safety, and security of others.
